In Golden State, there is an interesting development. His name is Anthony Morrow. If you have an open spot on your fantasy basketball team, take the opportunity now to pick him up.
Morrow is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who is a rookie out of Georgia Tech. Although he wasn’t highly thought of coming out of college and not surprisingly went undrafted, he has scored 62 points for the Warriors in his last two games. This undrafted rookie free agent has gone from summer league player to starting shooting guard in record time.
The aspect that sets Morrow apart is his shooting ability. He’s a deadly three-point shooter who has a quick release. Playing in Don Nelson’s offense, he is getting as many shots as he can eat right now. In the Warriors’ latest game, Morrow was in the starting lineup — which increases his fantasy basketball value even more.
In addition to shooting, Morrow is actually rebounding quite well right now. With Stephen Jackson taking over more of the point guard duties, it’s highly conceivable that Morrow could keep his starting job. Either way, pick him up right now. In Nelson’s offense, there’s a fairly good chance he can average 15+ points while helping you in three-pointers made and a little bit in rebounding.
